It’s an understandable mistake. Whoever named those places was a dick.

Greenland, but it’s not all that surprising. Everytime this toddler doesn’t get his toys, he screams “tarrifs!”

In a real life scenario, I interact with customers on a daily basis, but I’m further along the chain in the construction process, and don’t deal with design in any way. However, the exam was a completely fictional scenario with a fictional construction project, so no customer to talk to. The examiners decided they didn’t care much for sound proofing, and didn’t care for my reasoning.

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve grown a bit over the last 15-ish years, but a computer also seems to perform better for longer now. My 1070 I bought in 2016 (I think?) was clearly starting to lack behind with newer games after 4 years. My current 3070, which is 4 years old now, just keeps performing in new games.

Funny story there (well, not “haha” funny). I recently finished my bachelors in Architectual Technologies and Construction Management in Denmark. The exam for this bachelors is defending a project you’ve worked on for 4-ish months. It’s a construction project, where you alone have to design a building of a decent size while making sure you don’t break a bunch of laws or building codes. My exam was a catastrophe. Part of what made it so incredibly bad, was that I insisted on making a building that was good for the end-user. Unfortunately, part of our building codes here in Denmark is that we have to build a building that is good for the customer, not the end-user. This meant that I went directly against code, by e.g. soundproofing the building better than the nationally agreed minimum soundproofing, because that would be more expensive for the customer, or by insulating the building more than legally required, because we live in fucking Denmark, and heating of a building is a big environmental factor.

According to our codes (apparently), you have to only ever do the absolutely legal minimum when designing a construction project, unless the customer has expressly stated otherwise, because if not, you’re not securing your customer’s interest. So in other words, the quality of the building isn’t important, only the cost of it.

I’m certain a lot of people raised the same question during construction, and the answer was definately “it’ll be too expensive”.

I think Old School Runescape has absolutely nailed quests. You don’t actually have to do them for one. Some will unlock areas, while others will just give xp, some will unlocks skills. But the best part? Some of them actually change the world, but only for those who have completed the quests.

I’d absolutely love an actual keyboard for my phone. I don’t need all that much screnspace anyway, all I do is text friends, take calls once in a full moon, and write comments on Lemmy.
